Harry Styles Shows Off His Four Nipples for ‘The Face’ Magazine: WATCH

Share

Harry Styles will be on the cover of two hot magazines this month, first as we reported he shows some skin on the cover of Rolling Stone .

Now British hipster magazine The Face has tweeted that “The boy is back,” and that he will be barring all, including his four nipples.

Styles most recently talked about his extra set of tits when confronted by comedian Chelsea Handler on her Netflix talk show in 2017. “There’s a rumor on the internet that you have four nipples,” said Handler. “Have you heard that?”

Styles responded: “Correct.”

He pointed to his “usual” pair, then to the spare set, which was “just a little lower.” He didn’t show them off, but fans of his former boy band, One Direction, have seen them before: In the video for the 2012 single “Kiss You,” Styles revealed all four. Indeed, the extra pair looked like nipples, though they were smaller and flatter, like moles.

According to Inverse: “supernumerary nipples,” as scientists refer to them, are definitely nipples. And in some cases, they’re actually the partial remains of an extra set of breasts.

All of the different kinds of extra nipples — there are eight categories in total — were first laid out in the journal Duodecim in 1915 by a Finnish doctor named Y. Kajava, whose classification scheme has been the go-to for nipple researchers since it was published. Kajava’s categories span different combinations of nipple, breast tissue, fat tissue, and areolas: Styles’s would likely fall under category six — a nipple with no areola or underlying breast tissue, which is known as a “polythelia.”

But there are plenty of other types of extra nipples, some of which have the remains of a partially formed breast underneath it. If you had a category one extra nipple, complete with areola and a mound of breast tissue beneath it, you would be the proud owner of a “polymastia.” The Genetic and Rare Diseases Information Center of the United States National Institutes of Health refers to the condition as a “common, minor birth defect” — one that’s caused when fetal development goes slightly (but safely) awry. It’s estimated that about 200,000 people are born with extra nipples in the U.S. each year.

Styles joins other multi-nippled celebrities like Mark Wahlberg, Tilda Swinton, and Chandler from Friends who have proudly demonstrated, “when it comes to nipples, more is always merrier.”
